Favourite Footballer

[stokie_93]

Having a conversation with my friends last night about footballers who you've favoured that don't play for your club.

For me it's Thierry Henry, grew up with him being the best player in the Premiership.
He had everything really didn't he and was a joy to watch at times.

Who's yours?

Off the top of my head I'd say Le Tissier. An absolute magician of a footballer.

 

[fundy]

for me it was Bergkamp, watched him week in week out for Arsenal and he was just sublime, often worth the entrance money on his own

Bergkamp was mentioned heavily too.

I could watch his goal vs Newcastle on repeat.

 

[Beezerk]

Gazza.

 

[Region3]

Hoddle and Le Tissier

I cant pick Bergkamp or Henry as they played for Arsenal.

So who else? Zola is a possible, or Cantona, but probably have to go for Schmeichel at United.

Matt Le Tissier ................ what a player he was.

Cantona... Just about the most charismatic footballer I've ever met... Loved watching him play...

Michel Platini

I once had a wee in the next urinal to him in Home Nightclub Mcr in the early 90s, Possibly the highlight of my life..

Met him outside a curry house in Rusholme.. He was waiting for a taxi at the same time as me.. Had a bit of a chat.. I've never seen as many people just stop and stare.. The bloke was almost magnetic

Strangely enough, my life highlight was standing and having a chat with Mani at a urinal at Dukes bar MCR.. Bloke next to him was throwing up after the summer BBQ.. We both found it hilarious

Boom .................... I was waiting for that.
What a player!
What an enigma!

Internationally, Zidane followed by Messi

Domestically, Paul Bracewell. Yes I am wearing Royal Blue glasses.

Roberto Baggio

One of the best I have ever seen , just brilliant

Then it was the real Ronaldo - must be the best striker that has ever been or close enough

And then Ronaldinho was just a joy to watch

 

[TheDiablo]

I'd go with Thierry Henry for domestically, or Ronaldo (R9) internationally. Both did breathtaking things others could only dream of.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Roberto Baggio

Good shout. Wonderfully classy and did it at domestic and international level.

 

[stokie_93]

Internationally speaking for me it is Francesco Totti or Del Piero.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Louis Suarez.
